A dark image. The background is unclear and blurry. On the foreground on the left there is a huge circle, inside of which a profile picture belonging to @NorcalGma2@sfba.social. On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written. This text says:

How the BBC chose to report on the US and Israeli attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran:

1. It used “dead” instead of “killed,” softening the violence and removing agency.
2. It relied on passive construction, carefully avoiding naming the perpetrators — the United States and Israel.
3. It added “Iran says,” subtly framing the massacre itself as an allegation rather than an established event.

Screenshot of a BBC news headline on a mobile webpage. The headline reads: “At least 153 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says.” The BBC logo appears at the top, along with menu, search, and profile icons. A timestamp below the headline says “20 hours ago.”

Red annotations have been added over the image: the word “dead” is crossed out and labeled “killed” with a downward arrow, and “Iran” is crossed out and replaced with “US/Israeli” with another arrow, indicating suggested wording changes.

Under Pete Hegseth, War Minister, U.S. troops were told the war in Iran is for “Armageddon” the return of Jesus Christ. He's telling people this war is all part of God's divine plan and that Trump was advised by God to start it.

LOL on this sentence about Amazon data centers being hit by Iranian drones.

"They also have physical security, but those measures, including security guards, fences, video surveillance and alarm systems, are designed to keep out intruders rather than defend against missile attacks."

uspol, more trans bad news

Damn I guess I wasn't even paying attention yesterday so *deep breath* here we go:

- Supreme court issues shadow docket ruling that says teachers MUST tell their parents if their child privately comes out as trans supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pd
- Texas Attorney General declares that therapists who *use gender affirming language* for patients are engaging in child abuse, will have license to practice removed and face criminal charges erininthemorning.com/p/texas-a
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons members blindsighted by the org issuing a statement saying *HRT blockers*, surgery, etc are harmful for youth erininthemorning.com/p/asps-me

We're in this together. Attacks on trans youth are a pathway to attacks on trans adults.

It's kind of impressive how widespread is the view among US foreign policy types and media figures that you can indiscriminately bomb another country and they will not only love you for it but immediately reform their entire country to be accommodating to your whims.

Like, it's never once come true but that hasn't stopped them from insisting on it every single time.

10 trillion downloads last year from source repositories, with 82% from less than 1% of IPs and 80% from big name hyperscalers.

This is a solved problem. It’s been a solved problem. Every language and OS packaging system I’ve come across for *years* has had something for intermediate caching layers, official or at least widely supported.

Key takeaway:

> "If you're not caching, you're a goddamn idiot."
